Android Screen Privacy & Screenshot Protection
Keep your app's sensitive information private with AppMate's Android Screen Privacy Protection. Prevent standard screenshots, block supported screen recording and screen sharing captures, and protect confidential content from appearing in app previews—all without modifying your source code or integrating additional SDKs.
Keep Your Android App Content Private and Protected
Sensitive information can be exposed in seconds through screenshots, screen recordings, and shared app content.
Apps handling financial information, personal data, account details, business records, or proprietary content can face privacy risks when sensitive screens are captured or shared without authorization.
AppMate’s Android Screen Privacy Protection adds a post-build security layer that uses Android’s secure window capabilities to restrict standard screen capture methods.
Reduce unintended information exposure and provide an additional layer of privacy protection across your Android app.
